Create Clickable Buttons Using HTML

This works fine for what I need, but Id like a more customized looking button. I dont have any type of software to generate my own custom button gif, so Id like to ask if there is a way to customize the look of the button using only HTML (i.e. color, font, size, and mouseover properties)

hmm... never actually tried to change the color of a button before? But as far as height and width, I believe you can just use the height="x" and width="x" attributes. I'm pretty sure you can only use javascript to do mouseovers though.

but this would require me to have images for the source. The original code that I posted above has a mouseover effect that causes the borders of the button to turn an orangish color, im not sure how that code causes the button to do that... But, I can go without a great mouseover effect if someone can just give me a better type of code to use. Im really not digging the whole "default grey" button that Ive got going now.

hey thanks a lot for that code!

Ive been looking for a code like that to use on my pictures. Id like to use that for my buttons also but I dont have any button images to use. Do you know of a site that I could use to get some free button images?

You can change the appearance of elements using CSS. Just keep in mind that browsers are not required to allow you to style form elements in this way, so some or all styles applied to them may be ignored depending upon the browser being used to view your page.
